A guesthouse is a type of accommodation that possesses its own unique charm, distinct from traditional hotels or resorts.
Guesthouses offer the following attractions:
While it depends on the guesthouse, one of their appeals is that they are often cheaper than hotels.
If you're staying for multiple nights or traveling from place to place, the lower accommodation cost is a welcome benefit for travelers, isn't it?
Please check each guesthouse's website for detailed pricing.
Guesthouses are places where travelers from all over Japan, and even the world, gather, and they are also open to the local community, so interaction naturally arises. This is another characteristic.
Many travelers become regulars, get recognized, and integrate into the local community.
This is a charm not found in hotels or pensions.
Each guesthouse has a different interior/exterior and community atmosphere, and this individuality is one of its charms.
Discovering your "favorite guesthouse" as you travel is one of the true pleasures of a journey.
Now, we will introduce recommended share houses in Miyagi Prefecture.
Each guesthouse has different characteristics, so please try to find your favorite guesthouse.
『SLOW HOUSE』 is a guesthouse in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, that opened in 2022 after renovating a vacant house.
As its name suggests, it's a guesthouse themed around "slow," creating a place where guests can slowly re-examine their own richness and meet reliable companions.
The owner of SLOW HOUSE actively welcomes young people who "want to do something but have no idea what" and calls them "live-in residents," actively providing them with opportunities for activities and human connections.
One of them, as of 2023, is the community manager of SLOW HOUSE and is in charge of preparing breakfast for guests, even holding pop-up cafes in the region irregularly.
By the way, SLOW HOUSE's Instagram content is interesting and popular with young people, so be sure to check that out too.
